    Serious question, can these be used to pay ATO?

    • abs898 on 06/11/2024 - 18:04

      Yes

    • Loopholio on 07/11/2024 - 10:19

      No. Only Zune gift cards can be used to pay the ATO and any major government organisation or business.

    • olderman on 08/11/2024 - 18:55

      Also serious question: can someone please enlighten me on what’s the story with ATO payment using such cards? Or is there any good FAQ on this? I’ve tried searching, there are hundreds of posts/comments mentioning ATO payment, but people obviously already know how it works.

      Let’s say I need to pay ATO $1000. Is it just about purchasing these gift cards, collecting Flybuys points (sort of making a profit of $50 == 10,000 points) and then paying ATO using these cards vs a regular payment of $1000 via bPay where I don’t get any Flybuys points/"free" money? Or is it something else I’m missing?

      • Loopholio on 08/11/2024 - 19:31
        +1

        That sounds like a great way to make a huge mess. I did read a forum post somewhere here with some detail of how it works and where it can go wrong.

        Oh here it is. Damn the search on this site actually works! I keep forgetting that fact.

        • olderman on 08/11/2024 - 20:20

          Hmm, sorry, @Loopholio, I can’t really find how it works in the thread you shared. Potential risk is there, but what are the actual benefits? Why do people bother?

            @olderman: Money is the reason for the risk. Few people bother, I haven't seen anyone say it's worked for them. Maybe give it a shot and let us know how it goes?

            • olderman on 08/11/2024 - 20:51

              @Loopholio: What money? Are you saying my understanding is correct and in this particular case you get $50 profit? (in other cases you may get 10% “discount” I assume)

      • SmiTTy on 13/11/2024 - 08:03
        +1

        Yes basically u use these as giftcards to pay the ATO (as u would like any other credit card). I think there's a limit of about 10 transactions per day tho from memory (there are 2 ways to pay credit card…. If u get stuck let me kbow)

        This way u get credit card points by buying from Coles and flybuys points too(as opposed to no credit card points by spending at govt organisation)

        • fishandchips on 13/11/2024 - 10:23

          anyone experience ATO refund to the card? ATO refund my payment to the card but have been checking the card, the card still showing $0

          • tbone74 on 13/11/2024 - 10:51

            @fishandchips: Yes. I had an experience where I overestimated my tax debt so had overpaid tax in advance using multiple of these cards. ATO doesn't issue a refund for overpayments made by credit card (normal or prepaid), instead they cancel the original payment so the money goes back to the card.

            They asked me for the card details so the payment could be cancelled. However it turned out the transactions they cancelled were on different cards than the ones I provided in response to their request for card details.

            So if you made payments using multiple cards, make sure to check all of them to find which one had the cancelled transaction.

          • SmiTTy on 13/11/2024 - 12:23

            @fishandchips: Just don't overpay.
            I have overpaid by a few dollars but never hundreds so haven't experienced that issue but have read of instances here

            • lgacb08 on 13/11/2024 - 22:15

              @SmiTTy: few hundred probably they won't care, I overpaid my account by $1500 since Jan and they just sit in my account as credit. I suppose if you leave 10k in it they'd do something to avoid people screaming them stealing their interest money because each month transactions showing a few cents interest and another line immediately next to it showing 'remission of interest charge' to cancel it out together.

    • neynk on 15/11/2024 - 08:05

      Has anyone tried to pay ATO with these cards this year and did it work?
      I remember last year there was a period where you could not use them to pay.

      • Yola on 15/11/2024 - 08:07

        Woolworths is terrible. The large denominations are all gone, and asking the staff usually ends in a no.

    • hokonfan on 06/11/2024 - 20:31

      I think the issue is coles and wooli never had enough of cards for people to buy.

      if they have enough no one will do that.

    • ExpressCoffee on 07/11/2024 - 09:17

      Seems like a lot to go through for such a little discount. I can't understand how these cards are so popular to game.

      • wavesgreen on 11/11/2024 - 17:51
        +1

        What's so hard to understand?

        This deal allows you to purchase a physical MasterCard debit card at a discount using a credit card of your choosing (with attached rewards/minimum spend incentive) that you can then use to pay bills that otherwise cannot be paid for at a discount, e.g. ATO, council rates, utilities. Who doesn't want 4% off those? It's a no-brainer.

        It's just a shame we're limited to 5 per flybuys account these days.

    Basically, I buy $100 worth of Coles gift card. There is $5 fee. I get $10 worth of flybuy points that can be used for grocerries.

    Now if I use that $100 worth of Coles Gift Card to buy Coles Grocerries, I am actually paying ($100+5-10 = $95) $95. Am I correct?

    $5 discount for $100 card?

    For $250, it comes out to $250+7-10 = $247 or $3 on $250?

  • welcomeUniverseWorld on 08/11/2024 - 12:07

    I suppose if my $5 discount on $100 card is correct, then I can go ahead and guesstimate my next week grocerry bill. I buy the card first. Then go back into the same store. Buy the grocerry and pay using the card. I am basically getting 5% off $100

    • WookieMonster on 09/11/2024 - 10:57

      No.

      The gift card in this deal is a prepaid Mastercard gift card issued by Heritage Bank on behalf of InComm. Strictly speaking, it is not a Coles gift card, because Coles gift cards are issued by Coles Group.

      I just double-checked the Flybuys app and I cannot see how you can add any gift cards to the Flybuys app.

  • Maglia Nera on 09/11/2024 - 13:53

  • ozbargainerlife1 on 10/11/2024 - 20:42

    • WookieMonster on 10/11/2024 - 21:09
      +2

      No.

      The Visa gift cards with For You on the front are actually the new version of the Vanilla Visa gift cards previously sold at Coles. Those two gift card products actually use the same stock barcode, so if you (for example) purchase a $250 For You Visa gift card at Coles, the receipt will say you purchased VANILLA VISA $250 7YR 1 EACH.

      Past deals at Coles for Coles Mastercard gift cards have been restricted to only Coles Mastercard gift cards (and did not cover Vanilla Visa gift cards), and there is nothing so far to indicate this deal is any different.

      • ozbargainerlife1 on 11/11/2024 - 13:39

      Apparently the Fast Food gift card on Shopback works at Coles which I plan to test tomorrow.

      One potential alternative is to buy a Category Choice Groceries gift card on a site like Giftz using your Coles Mastercard via PayPal. Some health funds get you 3-4% off Category Choice cards (e.g. HCF, Australian Unity). In terms of ShopBack, their Fast Food gift card works at Coles and Woolworths for some reason so that's another option until they correct that mistake.

          I used a ShopBack Fast Food gift card to purchase a Coles Mastercard gift card today without any issues. I've also seen other people successfully use Category Choice Groceries cards to pay for them today. It's odd that you weren't able to. I've never had staff stop me from paying using multiple cards either.

          • Chatgpttrue on 14/11/2024 - 17:18

            @BargainTim: I tried it myself today and it won't work.

            It doesn't work because this Coles Mastercard Gift Card deal requires a payment of $105 including the purchase fee. When I tried to pay using "Mixed payment" on the self checkout it prompted an error and I was told by the staff that I cannot do a "mixed payment" when purchasing a gift card.

              @Chatgpttrue: You can't do a split payment on the self checkouts. Go thru a manned checkout or the service desk and tell them you are paying with two cards and the amounts. Don't tell them it is a gift card, the Category Card just acts like a payment card, just tap.

              Some staff won't let you do this when there is a gift card being purchased but most do.
